The Girl Scouts "Make New Friends" Expo for the Tustin/Irvine area is a free event designed for girls in grades TK through 2nd who are not currently members. These events offer families an opportunity to learn about the Girl Scouts program through hands-on activities while girls connect with local volunteers and peers.
While the "Make New Friends" expo is a primary entry point, the Girl Scouts of Orange County (GSOC) has several other community and member events scheduled for late March 2026:
For families looking for a more consistent introduction beyond a one-day event, Starter Troops are often available. In nearby Costa Mesa, a "Make New Friends" Starter Troop for K–3rd grade began meeting on Wednesdays in March at Rea Elementary. Similar local troop opportunities for the Tustin/Irvine area can be found on the Girl Scouts of Orange County website.
Would you like me to find the specific registration link for the Tustin/Irvine "Make New Friends" Expo date or more details on joining a local troop?
